I wonder if the bad guy was the old man form that meeting sent to check on everyone. I think the president had the pot guy follow him just in case but couldn’t help poor Teppei either way. Knocking Master is gonna be pissed.

That’s a good point, wasn’t Joa the one who knew where ATOM was as well? I guess if they are gathering Acacia’s full course, he would come into play in some way. Being a Dark Chef, he could cook someone too and be evil about it.

Just think the disguise though might be to fool people. Obviously someone had to be strong to wake up the Four Beast. Could also be a totally new character that noone knows about yet. Dark Chef Joa is a pretty good guess though.

Well don’t say without a doubt unless you are the guy who writes it. Even though this is shounen, there are always things put in to throw people off. Also I think Teppei talked about Joa the Dark Chef, wouldn’t he have said something instead of calling the guy a mystery man.

If it was Joa without a doubt he would have been in his chef/clown like outfit and not skulking around. The way it looks it is pointing towards Joa but could be anyone really. Joa would make sense though to push his storyline because he has pretty much sat on the sidelines and doesn’t belong to the two main groups. The King of Jidal could also be some super strong guy too.
